These legal things are always weird to me in wrestling. Complaining to the "commissioner" or something like that is one thing but going to court over it? How does that make sense but a wrestler isn't arrested everytime the beat up a ref? Again, it is one of those suspension of disbelief things that is a little hard to accept. In regards to the story, why have him win if you have stuff taped where he isn't champ? It was a dumb move. With only 2 ppvs now per year, you can expect more title changes on Impact - why not just do it there? Doing it on a ppv to have a big event and then having him drop it 2 days later isn't going to impress people.

I really don't understand what's going on here. It seems like all this is happening on the internet since they haven't had an Impact since BFG. I thought it was stupid Hardy would win the title, didn't make much sense, but now they're doing this Injunction story? Reports have stated they've had this plan for a while.. As of right now i think it's a bad storyline but i'll wait for Impact to make more judgment on it.

Wtf? He wins the damn belt then vacates two days later because of a legal angle? Why the hell didn't they just let EC3 retain, or have him lose clean? Look I've tried to justify some of the decisions they've done over the last five years. There's no rationale here. If EC3 gets the title back over this shit, it's gonna make him look bad. I said it before, that outcome at BFG did no one any favors. Not TNA, not the wrestlers, not a soul. I need a drink now.

Even if it was to send the North Carolina fans home happy if you're going to have him give up the title have EC3/Tyrus/whoever beat the shit out of him leaving him a bloody pulp meaning he has to vacate. That way it allows Matt Hardy and his assaliant seem credible and make the decision for him to win in the first place feel like a feel good moment and progress the storyline without seeming retarded

TNA President Dixie Carter and Billy Corgan addressed the TNA World Heavyweight title situation in a new video, and they also addressed the injunction storyline with Ethan Carter III and Matt Hardy.

Dixie says she was ready to fight the injunction at all costs but after talking to Hardy yesterday, she made the decision to accept Hardy relinquishing the title.

As a result, there will be a “World Title Series” that starts on tonight’s Impact Wrestling and that will eventually see a new champion crowned. Corgan says they are confident this will give them the champion they need.

So yes, we're getting a tournament to crown a new champion which will probably involve a disgruntled Tyrus, the now #1 contender, and probably end with EC3 regaining his title, only to have to face his former body guard.

Update:

Here's the format:

Quote:

The World Title Series will feature a format very similar to soccer’s World Cup, with thirty-two members of the IMPACT WRESTLING roster competing for the TNA World Championship. The wrestlers will be divided into eight groups to begin round-robin group play. Winners receive three points, a draw receives one point and a loss earns zero points. The top two point-getters from each group will advance to the field of 16 and a single elimination tournament where the competitor who wins advances and the loser goes home. The ultimate winner of the World Title Series will have survived the most grueling test in the history of wrestling and will be crowned the true and undisputed TNA World Champion.

The storyline, at face value, is yet another WTF??? moment, but I'm all for the World Cup style tournament - it's something I wish had been done before, and massive tournaments make sense when the major promotional title is vacant, as surely it would be the target of every wrestler in the promotion. Also it makes pretty much every match meaningful to the fans
